Ceramic ball bearings

[husaberg]

Oh S..T, I just thought when I get O-rings, I don't go to local bike dealers to get them. I go to a local O-ring whole saler. They always have what I want. Is it the same deal with seals? or is that too specialised?

bearing shop ....if you wanted teflon they are a bit harder to source.

I don't think they are teflon but I just don't know. Hoorah, Something else to look into. It's was just when I put a suzuki part number for one of the seal's into google the number of entry's seem endless and it got me thinking are seal's just made to common size's and are alot easier to get than I thought.


I must abmit I thought seals were made special size's for each use but it would make sense they are made to common size's like bearing's and O-ring's.

youre welcome
they also list of the other bikes that same part fists if you log in
https://www.cmsnl.com/suzuki-t350-19...262/partslist/

at times they don't list the bearing, only a part number but the pic is the actual part and often you can read the size code

Also for instance the steel clutch plates fit over 200 different Suzuki models

For once I found this site on my own. It is what got me to realise that alot of parts between T350's and T500's were the same.

Bike shops sell bearings and seals too?.

Actually it's got too hard to deal with yer skf and saeco type places. They put the price sky high so they can offer trade 50% off and good customers 70% off and better customers 73% off.
It's the Briscoes model but then they got dicky with public.

Online.

Seal imports are still good fortunately.

[SaferRides]

+1 for Seal Imports.

Be aware that there are different seal "types", like there are grades of bearings. I bought a seal from a bearing shop and it wore a groove in the ally spacer. Oops.

OE parts are safest for Jap bikes if still available. I don't know what it's like buying Suzuki parts for older models locally, but there are websites in Japan who offer really good if slightly quirky service.

Seal Imports! I am annoyed with myself for not thinking of them! I use to get crankseals for my Bucket from them. Thanks for jogging the old memory!

The couple of times I have dealed with websites in Japan it has always ended well but calling it 'quirky' is being very polite.

Talk of the wheel seals. As it got thinking of the steel wheel spacers they are running on and I should sent the ones in good nick to be sent to Superfinishing in Auckland to there to get the surfaces done real nice and smooth.
